The Chaires-Capitola Volunteer Fire Department has noticed a significant drop in community donations that are used to help run the department. While not seeing any increase in funds from the county or city from the new fire services fee, the Chaires-Capitola Volunteer Fire Department has noticed a negative impact on donations resulting from citizens who believe the new fees increase the funding to local volunteer fire departments. The Chaires-Capitola Volunteer Fire Department would like to remind the community that your donations are still greatly needed to help provide the quality service the community deserves.

Santa will be riding into eastern Leon County in style. Old Saint Nick will be cruising neighborhoods and making stops on a fire truck from Chaires-Capitola Volunteer Fire Department. The Department will conduct four holiday parades.

Each night the parade will be conducted from 5:30pm until concluded at approximately 8:30 pm

Below is the routes for each night indicating the neighborhood that will be traveled and what roads we will travel on.

A printable Santa Run flyer is available for download here.

The Chaires Capitola Volunteer Fire Department would like to take a moment to thank the members of our community who have helped with donations during our current fund drive. We have had a very good turn out and the donations continue to come in on a daily basis.

Our fund drive is conducted by a semi-annual mail-out,. We do not make solicitation phone calls. If you receive a phone call stating they are from the Chaires Capitola VFD requesting donations, please contact us at 942-4033 to let us know. We also occasionally conduct boot drives and car washes in or near our territory.
